I love Soviet-era commieblock areas and buildings both in former USSR and in Eastern Europe. Highway ("Magistraal" in Estonian) takes me through such areas and some nice blocks are located right next to them. I am happy that I can enjoy these buildings and areas in my hometown Tallinn every day. (In case you wanted to see shopping mall Magistral in Mustamäe, please go to http://www.magistral.ee.)

266 Põlva in 2009-2010

20.07.09
This is inside the Põlva coach station. I remember this from childhood, but here there are late pictures after some renovation inside. I think this is a nice example of architecture from the end of 1980's / beginning of 1990's.

As you can see in post nr. 56, two years ago the benches were set in another direction.

This part outside the coach station is new. Before, there was a unique long concrete or brick house that was for waiting buses. It had a nice architecture, and I haven't seen anything like that later. So sad that it was taken down so early and I don't have any photo of it. Google image search didn't gave any picture either.

There was another building there, a one floor office building where I have been to many times, also from 1980's I think. Right next to it was a smaller newer building with small supermarket. Both of them were taken down and the new bigger one in the right was built. It's empty place is seen in photos two years ago (post nr. 56).

Coach station from a distance.

Railway station, not in use as that anymore. Built in 1930's I think.

This is actually in Rosma (or right next to Rosma) -- a village right next to Põlva.
